Disputes involving individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities arise regularly in probate and estate matters — from testamentary capacity assessments to challenges over the appropriate use of special needs trust funds. I provide expert consultation on an individual’s capacity to make decisions, their vulnerability to undue influence, and what constitutes appropriate behavioral and therapeutic services that a trust should fund. My clinical background ensures these evaluations are grounded in behavioral science, not just general psychological frameworks.
